Abstract

A fixing member ( 3, 40, 43, 50, 53 ) which fixes a first frame body ( 1 ) of a solar battery module main body ( 9 ) slides along the first frame body, and the solar battery module main body includes a connecting portion ( 10 ) and a to-be connected portion ( 11 ) which connects the first frame bodies which are adjacent to each other through the fixing member. With this, a position of the fixing member can freely be moved with respect to the first frame body, the fixing member is slid to a position where there is a structure member ( 32 ) which supports a roofboard at predetermined intervals, and the fixing member is mounted at that position. With this, the fixing member can be mounted more strongly, and the adjacent two first frame bodies ( 31 ) can be fixed by the fixing member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A solar battery module comprising:
 polygonal a pair of solar battery panel main bodies adjacent to each other where one is a ridge-sided solar battery panel main body and the other is an eaves-sided solar battery panel main body; 
 a pair of first frame bodies that are adjacent to each other where one is a ridge-sided first frame body and the other is an eaves-sided first frame body, the ridge-sided first frame body configured to support an edge of the ridge-sided solar battery panel main body and the eaves-sided first frame body configured to support an edge of the eaves-sided solar battery panel main body, and each of the first frame bodies having a concave connecting portion positioned on a side surface opposite to another side surface for supporting the respective solar battery panel main bodies; 
 and a fixing member, which has a to-be connected portion that is insertable within the connecting portions of the first frame bodies and is capable of connecting said first frame bodies, so that upper sections of the first frame bodies supporting the respective solar battery panel main bodies are arranged adjacently and are made linearly symmetrical in cross-section, and is slidable along the first frame bodies, and is fixable to a roofboard by a main body fixing screw, and is also fixable to the respective solar battery panel main bodies through the respective first frame bodies, the fixing member having a laterally long rectangular shape and including a vertical cross piece as a reinforcing member at the center between upper and bottom sides inside the rectangular shape, and being formed with a main body fixing screw hole for being fixed to the roofboard at an extension extending from the bottom side to a ridge side of the rectangular shape of the fixing member below the ridge-sided solar battery panel main body. 
 
     
     
       2. The solar battery module according to  claim 1 , further comprising a movement-restricting means which restricts a relative movement between the eaves-sided first frame body and the fixing member in a direction perpendicular to a sliding direction of the fixing member. 
     
     
       3. The solar battery module according to  claim 2 , wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the eaves-sided first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member. 
     
     
       4. The solar battery module according to  claim 1 , wherein a height of the fixing member can be adjusted by a height adjusting pedestal. 
     
     
       5. The solar battery module according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second frame body which supports a side that is different from the side supported by the first frame body of the solar battery module main body.
